In a string of shocking television deaths, Will's death was one of the most shocking ever in a series. He died valiantly trying to save others in a courtroom shooting, changing the course of The Good Wife.

The advance placement student who just wanted to be the first Asian American President got a lot more than he bargained for as a prophet on Supernatural, including killed by Gadreel as he hid inside Sam's body in the bunker under the Winchesters' protection. Yikes.

She was a liar, a hacker, a little crazy and a fabulous schemer. We loved to hate her, but none of us wanted her to die on Thanksgiving Day at the hands of A. So. Much. Blood. We just met her mother! So unfair. Did she have a twin?!?!? With Pretty Little Liars, you never know.

Oh Bones. We watched our precious Sweets grow from a young man in his profession to an expert in his field. Watching him die was very painful. The only plus is knowing actor John Francis Daley has a lot of work as a writer, director and producer. Whew!

Harrison Wright was on almost every episode until he was shot in the Scandal Season 3 finale. His death was not in vain, as it was the catalyst to getting Olivia back on her game and her Gladiators as well.

One of the two lead females on Chicago Fire, it seemed impossible Shay would die, after all her life was already on the line once before. But, no, she never made it out of the Season 2 finale fire. She will be sorely missed. Will we ever stop crying over it?

Christopher may have been adopted, but he was as much a Ewing as any of the other Dallas residents sharing his name. He was blown up in his own car in the Season 3 Finale. The feud between him and John Ross? Over.

Bob joined group at the prison during The Walking Dead Season 4. Sasha saved him from a life of Alcoholism, but all that booze tenderized him, providing a good meal for Gareth and his looney cannibals. Yikes.

Barry Frost was Jane Rizzoli's partner on Rizzoli & Isles. His character died in a car accident. The actor, Lee Thompson Young, took his own life after suffering from depression at the tragic age of 29. Both are missed terribly.

Fara started with the CIA at the beginning of Homeland Season 3 after so many with her skills were lost at the explosion during the Vice President's funeral. She fought hard to make her mark and died at the hands of terrorist Haqqani after helping to track him down.

Whether they died (and God knows many of them did) or just rode off into the sunset. enough key players exited Sons of Anarchy in the final season to ensure there will be no movie follow up! Unless it's heaven sent...

On a show like Revenge, you never want your character to redeem himself or herself, becasue the next step may be death! Emily admitted she really loved him and people got their hopes up for his future as a decent human being and then -- bam. Dead. RiP Daniel!

Ziva was god but it was her time to move on..... good actors and actresses do not stay too long with one show... when the challenge wears off they are off looking for new challenges... and NCIS has been around too long... it has lost a lot of its appeal and number of viewers.

The show is not about Ziva, if Gibbs left, then that's a horse of a different color,

Bonnie ringdahl•November 26, 2014 23:04

Yup.... Still miss Ziva....

Tony•November 21, 2014 15:53

Ziva David. I wish she would come back, she was the best at that desk for sure !!!!!!! She is a great actress and don't know why you let her go. Don't know a good thing when you have it ! You will make so many more viewers happier, bring her back.

Ziva (or Ziver according to Gibbs) was to dark, always moody and secretive, got annoying.

The Ziva replacement does not fit at all. Her mismatched eyebrows and hair color alone keep me from watching NCIS anymore.

I agree Bishop brings nothing to NCIS, she lacks carisma and chemistry with rest of cast. She needs to be replaced if the show is going to keep its top ratings.
